Nothing that's forced can ever be rightIf it doesn't come naturally, leave itThat's what she said as she turned out the lightAnd we bent our backs as slaves of the nightThen she lowered her guard and showed me the scarsShe got from trying to fightSaying oh, you'd better believe it.

Well I'm up to my neck in the crumbling wreckageOf all that I wanted from lifeWhen I looked for respect all I got was neglectThough I swallowed the lign as a sign of the timesBut dealing a jack from the back of the packThey said-"You lose again"Oh, I said, who needs it?

Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get onWith the jokers that got in my wayAnd I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straightBut they just wanted more all the time and I'm sureThat you know what I mean when I sayThat I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take.

Well nothing that's real is ever for freeAnd you just have to pay for it sometimeShe said it before, she said it to meI suppose she believed there was nothing to seeBut the same old four imaginary wallsShe built for living insideI said oh, you just can't meana it

Well there was never a doubt that she had to get outShe was just looking around for a wayIn the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any moreShe was out on a limb, she was reaching for thingsThat she wanted, but just couldn't sayAnd she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before.

Well nothing that's forced can ever be rightIf it doesn't come naturally, leave itThat's what she said as she turned out the lightAnd she may have been wrong, and she may have been rightBut I woke with the frost, and noticed she'd lostThe veil that covered her eyesI said oh, you can leave it.--------------------------------------------------------------------
